the modem more than 20 centimetres away from such medical devices.
Turn the modem off if necessary. Consult a physician or the manufacturer
of the medical device before using the modem near such devices.
Be aware of the regulations when using the modem at places such as
oil warehouses or chemical factories, where there are explosive gases
or explosive products being processed. Turn off your modem as

Don’t touch the antenna area unnecessarily whilst connected. This can
affect your modem performance and reduce the signal quality.
Store the modem out of the reach of children. The modem may cause
injury or get damaged.
The modem contains sensitive electronic circuitry. Do not expose the
modem to any liquids, high temperatures or shock.
Only use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by

the modem.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the modem. Unauthorised
dismantling or repair of the modem will void the warranty.
1.3 Radiation from Electronic Devices
The USB Wireless modem is a transmitting device with similar output power
to a mobile phone. It uses an internal antenna to connect to the mobile
network. To get the best performance from your device do not cover or
shield the device in any way as this will lead to increased output power.

receive signals to propagate. It is not intended to be used as a handheld or
body worn device but the SAR tests have been completed and exceed the
Australian regulatory requirements.
